Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the broiler. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a shallow bowl. Season both sides of the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dip the chicken in the beaten egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides.

2. Spread the tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 10x15 inch baking dish. Heat 2 Tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet ovver medium heat. Place 4 chicken cutlets in the skillet; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Using a spatula, transer the browned chicken to the baking dish, placing them on top of the sauce. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.

3. Top each cutlet with a slice of mozzzarella. Broil about 4 inches from the heat source until the sauce is hot and the cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots, 5 - 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
